Re: india faces up to an ugly reality
interestingly , the writer of this article ( aatish taseer ) is the illegitimate child of indian sikh writer tavleen singh and slain pakistani politician salman taseer . he was born out of a one night stand . tavleen wanted to abort him but salman taseer convinced her not to do that because it is against islam to abort a child . but he did not marry tavleen and remained a india hater throughout his life . aatish met his father at the age of 21 , but later they had differences over india/pakistan as aatish's loyalities were with india . so their relations were broken off . later salman was murdered by his own bodyguard because he was against the blasphemy law .

Re: india faces up to an ugly reality
I think the author has conveniently ignored the double standards of this government. Modi talks about environment/cleanliness alright but in the same breath he kicks the NGOs in the gut that are environment friendly and wants to enact laws that would simplify land grabbing process. Andhra capital (where fertile lands are being destroyed) is a preview of what would happen if land reform becomes a reality.That fury is new. It is what can happen when defunct articles of faith are set aside. The India I live in today is more aware than ever before of the environmental horrors of its cities and towns. It is part of a new spirit of activism that has crept into the discourse. Prime Minister Narendra Modi has made the Clean India Mission, which he began last October on Mohandas K. Gandhi’s birthday, a personal objective. The project, which uses celebrities to raise awareness, is focused on improving sanitation. Rightly so: India has among one of the highest rates of child deaths from diarrhea in the world.

Re: india faces up to an ugly reality
Hmmm.. Are you suggesting that an educated/progressive woman such as Tavleen doesn't have a mind of her own?! BTW, in case you're not aware, she is one of the original Modi Mausis before she came to grips with the realities of Feku's government.ashdoc wrote:interestingly , the writer of this article ( aatish taseer ) is the illegitimate child of indian sikh writer tavleen singh and slain pakistani politician salman taseer . he was born out of a one night stand . tavleen wanted to abort him but salman taseer convinced her not to do that because it is against islam to abort a child . but he did not marry tavleen and remained a india hater throughout his life . aatish met his father at the age of 21 , but later they had differences over india/pakistan as aatish's loyalities were with india . so their relations were broken off . later salman was murdered by his own bodyguard because he was against the blasphemy law .
